# What Daniel Comp's 2024 Video Teaches Asxer Owners About Building a Library for SI

On 2024-06-20, Daniel Comp published "AI Self Mastery v4.00.00 PREFACE" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 3, A Library for the Machines, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

## What the video shows

The Volume 4 preface, where most of the narration is SI reviewing the prologue as a dual journey of human and SI growth, with Daniel's own framing kept brief. It shows the library's turn from search to ask. It was written with its first SI readers in the room.

> Welcome back to Scotomaville Volume Four on AI Self Mastery.

From the YouTube description: We're all going to migrate from SEARCH to ASK... ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcDiANd3LxM))

## The asxer angle

This is the reason an asxer exists. An owner's own words, kept in a library the owner controls, become the source an SI (Super Intelligence) answers from, instead of whatever an algorithm decides to show. Every recording like this one is a shelf in that library.

In the books: Prime 011, Prime 017.
